Stories from Opening Night – Jennifer Kronenberg

Jennifer Kronenberg

As we count down the days to opening night of the 2013-2014 Season, dancers are sharing their favorite stories from past opening nights and explaining why performing on this particular night is so special. To kick-off the series is principal dancer Jennifer Kronenberg! Don’t forget to get your tickets!

Opening Romeo & Juliet was probably my most exciting and memorable opening night. It is such a romantic and monumental ballet — one that I had looked forward to dancing for so long. Then, to be lucky enough to dance it with my husband Carlos, and have it be for MCB’s 25th Anniversary, made it all the more special!

Opening nights are particularly significant because there is always a unique sense of anticipation leading up to them. As we dancers are performing a role or ballet for the first time, the audience will most likely be experiencing it for the first time as well. That fleeting parallel and common ground with the audience is an experience that, for me, always sets opening nights apart from other performances.
